Last 3rd of LP has High Feq. Distortion

Took it in the dealer and it the crappy 30.00 pressings that I bought. Bummer can't adjust that now can I. Other than quit buying Classic Records.

Doug to answer your question we played the 2 albums I took in on two ther TT's One LP12 like mine with a Skala Cart mine is a Troika, the other was a P9 with a Helikon and the
issue was the same. I played the original pressing of the peter gabriel So that I bought used and it doesn't have any of those issues. I played some older Moody blues last night and agin it sounded fine. My alarm was triggered by playing 3 albums The gabriel mentioned, CSN couch on porch, and Neil Young Hits and all are exhibiting the same issue in the same area of the vinyl. And they are all coincedenly Classic Records. That is why I made the comment.
As far as the dealer, I think when it comes to the LP12 there are probably a handful at best worldwide that can dial one in like he can. Linn has reffered him for years and I have been there when his boxing up units to send back to owners all over the US. I really believ that the vinyl was to blame and appologize that I started this thread without prior further investigation. Not to mention the time and trouble of moving an LP12 via car 35 miles each way. I would be hard pressed to rest blame anywhere else at this point. Also as asked I have a new Troika about 100 hrs. and yes I clean stylus with last or Lyra products for each side and always clean the vinyl. That is all part of the ritual. The vinyl is always cleaned when I receive it on my VPI with walker prelude or L'Artduson fluid and Mobile Fidelity brushes. I use DeStat F Tech and
I really think that is getting everything clean enough that the blame must be the vinyl.
Doug I assume that you are either a dealer or a rep of Classic Records and if I offended you I am sorry but this
is what I have found. I would rather be telling everyone that 30.00 buys the best, but I really have only found consistant high quality vinyl from Mobile Fidelity or Sisco.I have had someC lassic records that you could not get away from me, but here lately I really look at brand rather than title when ordering.
I just think that 25-35 bucks is a big investment for an album that is not markedly better than a standard pressing
of old. And I just can't get into CD's as much except for convenience.

Doug
Thanks glad to hear I hate stepping on the wrong toes. Maybe the vinyl re-issuers will take heed and offer a
better product or drop their prices to comensurate the
value provided.

As mentioned the dealer had two other table sound the same and when I played some other pressings I didn't notice it including the Original Peter gabriel release. I had a copy that I played and it is just not there. I really belive the dealer is about the best TT setup guy I have met. To illustrate further when I first started doing business with him he didn't even sell CD players. He swore they ruined the music. I had decided that CD was the way to go he tried to get me to sell him my collection of LPs.
But over time he converted me and and here I am, buying more vinyl each year than cd. I liked classic at first and have a number of other records but here lately I have been really disappointed. I think the MoFi seems to be the one that I can rely on to be a good clean pressing.
Just my experience.
